🚨 A new Android malware campaign is using NFC relay attacks to clone credit cards — and it’s nearly invisible to antivirus tools.

Security researchers have discovered 'SuperCard X', a malware-as-a-service (MaaS) platform that allows cybercriminals to steal card data and make contactless payments using compromised Android devices.

Key highlights from the report:
- Distributed via social engineering scams through fake SMS or WhatsApp messages
- Victims are tricked into installing a malicious app disguised as a bank ā€œverificationā€ tool
- Once installed, it uses NFC to read card chip data and sends it to a second attacker device
- Attackers use a companion app to emulate the victim’s card and make payments or ATM withdrawals

šŸ” What makes it dangerous:
- SuperCard X requests minimal permissions, making it hard to detect
- It uses ATR-based card emulation and mutual TLS (mTLS) for secure communication
- Malware is not flagged by any antivirus engines on VirusTotal
- Transactions are small, instant, and look legitimate to banks — making them harder to detect or reverse

šŸ›”ļø Google responded saying Play Protect is active and currently no such apps are listed on Google Play. But since these apps spread outside the store, Android users remain at risk — especially if they sideload apps or fall for impersonation scams.

This is a textbook example of how mobile payment infrastructure is being exploited — and why NFC security deserves more attention in mobile-first threat models.
